Are you passionate about supporting young people to overcome behavioural challenges and thrive in education?
Do you have the resilience, empathy, and confidence to make a real difference in a school setting?

A dynamic and supportive school in Wolverhampton is looking for a Behaviour Mentor to join their pastoral and inclusion team from May 2025 on a full-time, ongoing basis. This is a fantastic opportunity to become a positive role model and help shape brighter futures for students who need guidance, structure, and encouragement.

About the Role:

As a Behaviour Mentor, you’ll work closely with pupils who may be at risk of exclusion, display challenging behaviour, or need additional emotional and behavioural support. You will deliver targeted interventions, promote positive behaviour strategies, and support students both inside and outside the classroom environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide 1:1 and small group behaviour support to identified students

  • De-escalate incidents calmly and effectively using restorative approaches

  • Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils to promote self-regulation and emotional resilience

  • Support teaching staff with classroom management strategies

  • Monitor student behaviour, track progress, and contribute to behaviour plans

  • Liaise with pastoral leaders, SENCOs, and external agencies when necessary

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

  • Experience working with young people with behavioural, emotional, or social needs (SEMH)

  • A calm, consistent and patient approach with excellent interpersonal skills

  • Confidence in managing challenging behaviour and using positive reinforcement

  • A background in youth work, PRUs, pastoral support, SEN, or similar environments is desirable

  • Relevant training (Team Teach, MAPA, Thrive, etc.) is a bonus but not essential

Job Overview:

Location: Wolverhampton
Start Date: May 2025
Contract Type: Full-time, ongoing
Working Hours: Monday–Friday, school hours
Competitive daily rate (based on experience)
